December 30, 2011 101 Uses for Cream Cheese

Luke, CB and I don't have a lot of traditions around here. But, we do have one: snacks on New Year's Day. We all ask for our top 2 or 3 snacks and spend the first day of the new year grazing. It's heaven.

With all the appetizer options in the world you'd think I could come up with some that did not involve cream cheese other dairy based ingredient.

Here's what we're having:

Stuffed jalapenos (cream cheese)
Raspberry Chipotle dip (cream cheese)
Cindy B's Horseradish dip (cream cheese)
Cheese ball (cream cheese)
cheese dip (Velveeta - wait, does that count as a "dairy based ingredient"?)
sausage balls (a family favorite. Who knew sausages had balls?)
Shrimp
some other kind of dip that has sour cream in it
pickle wraps (cream cheese)

I am thinking that cream cheese is the duct tape of snacks.
